ColourPop Disney Midnight Masquerade Eyeshadow Palette ♡ Review + Swatches

Today I am sharing with you a review and swatches, plus a makeup look I did using the ColourPop Disney Midnight Masquerade Eyeshadow Palette.

The Midnight Masquerade Collection was released sometimes in late 2019 and this is ColourPop's second Disney Princess collection. I don't have all the products from this collection, but I did purchased a highlighter, a blush and a few of the newly released lux liquid lips.

I have been very obsessed with eyeshadow palettes lately and the Midnight Masquerade is one of the six eyeshadow palettes that I have recently purchased from ColourPop.

The Midnight Masquerade palette contains fifteen eyeshadows and a mixture of finishes including matte, shimmer, pressed pigment and pressed glitters.

The palette comes packaged in those durable cardboard materials, which I much preferred compared to their plastic 9 pan palettes. This one does not come with a mirror and the artwork and design is definitely more detailed and prettier compared to their first Disney Princess palette (It's A Princess Thing).

 Mrs. Potts, described as an antique yellow gold.

 Floating Lantern, described as a rosey copper with lavender glitter.

 Djali, described as a soft copper with a pink flip and a duo chrome flip.

 Mama Odie, described as soft peach with a green flip and a duo chrome flip.

 Enchanted, described as a warm coral.

 Pip, described as a peachy nude.

 Damsel, described as a dusty rose.

 Spinning Wheel, described as an opal with pinky flip.

 Royal Ball, described as a white gold with multidimensional glitter.

 Frog & Wife, described as a hunter green.

 Nutmeg, described as a true terracotta.

 New Dream, described as a warm dusty violet.

 Gaston, described as a true crimson.

 Quasimodo, described as a muted deep brown.

 Merryweather, described as a deep navy blue.

The shades above are listed as per my arm swatches order, starting from Mrs. Potts on the left, then the first row and lastly the second row. 

Usually at the back of each ColourPop eyeshadow palettes, they would list out the shades that are not safe to be used directly on the eyes, but there is non noted on the Midnight Masquerade palette. I believe pressed glitters are not safe to use in the immediate eye area, although I have tried it myself, nothing major happened, but the huge chunks of glitters did irritated my eyes a bit and there were A LOT of fall-outs! 

Floatting Lantern and Royal Ball are the only pressed glitters in this palette, they are so pretty to look at in the pan, but once you dip your finger in, they are every where! It's annoying and this is my least favourite formula from ColourPop.

Majority of the shades from this palette is pigmented, they glides on smoothly and blends well on the eyes. The darker shades on the bottom row are a bit dry and patchy, as seen in my arm swatches above, the shade Merryweather is the worst. 

I really like the lighter matte shades on the top row of the palette and my favourite formula is definitely the shimmers. I have tried using the shimmers both dry and wet and I find that when using it wet, the color becomes more vibrant, but the texture is chunky, and when using it dry, it's shimmery, but it's not as vibrant and the texture is so velvety, they glides on smoothly and blends beautifully on the eyes.

Below is a makeup look I did using the Midnight Masquerade eyeshadow palette. We all know that I am no pro at creating makeup looks and not even close to being good at applying makeup, but I got to say I am probably best at buying and collecting makeup itself haha.

As mentioned in the beginning, I did purchased a few ColourPop Lux Liquid Lips from the Midnight Masquerade collection. I have the shades in Beast (a mid-tone pink nude), Wonderboy (a rich berry), Flynn (a rose plum) and Prince Charming (a true pink).

The shade selections are absolutely gorgeous and the formula feels light weight on the lips, but it gets very drying and it forms crusty pieces in the middle after a short amount of wearing time. Also this product is not long wearing at all.

The above lip swatch is probably the worst I have posted on my blog, mind you, I did scrub my lips beforehand and my lips are not in a drying condition currently.

The blush that I am wearing in this makeup look is Enchanted Mirror from the Beauty and The Beast Belle Kit. It is described as a warm pink blush and it has been my favourite blush since I received it. The texture is so soft, it wears all day and the pigmentation is just about right, for someone who is always too heavy-handed.

I don't recall posting such detailed review of an eyeshadow before on this blog, haha but I hope you enjoyed reading this post.

ColourPop Just A Tint Lip Crayon ♡ Coconut About You Review + Swatches

ColourPop released a bunch of lip crayons in 2019 and they are called the Just A Tint Lip Crayons. These are available as duo sets or they can be purchased individually.

The initial launch includes 12 shades, but they have since expand their shade range and I've lost track of their new releases haha... These are described as jumbo-sized lip crayons that delivers a sheer wash of colour in a lightweight, super moisturising formula.

I have the lip crayon bundle in Coconuts About You, which includes the shades:

 Gimme S'More, described as a sheer nude-ish pink.

 Cherry Pickin, described as a sheer honey nude.

ColourPop Just A Tint Lip Crayon is a glossy finish and it is made with ingredients such as passion fruit oil, coconut oil, marula oil and shea butter, these ingredients will provide hydration for a healthy, glow lips look with a hint of tint.

Remember when Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms was a thing and everyone was obsessed with it?! Well, I remembered trying a few and I was never a fan. Lip crayons are just not my thing, but I surprisingly really like the Just A Tints.

The formula is quite different to other lip crayons I have tried and although these are described as a sheer wash of tint and they are buildable in pigmentations, I find both shades in the Coconuts About You bundle are quite pigmented. The texture is creamy, it feels hydrating on the lips and these smells SO GOOD!

I love the packaging as well, these are twist-up lip crayons, so there is no need to sharpen them. I especially really like the cap, it will click when you push it down and it prevents the cap being loose and falling off on its own.

ColourPop She's A Rainbow Palette ♡ Swatches

Today I am sharing with you a swatches of the ColourPop She's A Rainbow Palette. This is a pre-made palette containing 24 eyeshadows in three finishes, including:

 Pressed Powder Shadow, described as a highly pigmented shadow that feels ultra-velvety and silky. The formula contains a combination of soft powders that adheres easily to the eyes, giving a soft focus effect and it claims to blends smoothly and evenly.

There are 12 Pressed Powder Shadows in this palette.

 Pressed Pigment, described as a vibrant and creamy formula that aims to create an intense look.

There are 9 Pressed Pigments in this palette.

 Pressed Glitter, described as a self-adhering pressed glitter that applies effortlessly onto the skin and stays on all day and night.

There are 3 Pressed Glitters in this palette.

Whatever finishes, I love ColourPop eyeshadows, they are affordable and the formulas are so creamy and velvety, blends like a dream and stay on all day. I also had previous great experience with their Pressed Glitters formula, they are so amazing! The glitters grab onto the skin without having to add glue, it has a little bit of fallouts during application, but the glitters stays on for very long hours and it's really impressive.

This is one of those build-your-own palettes, except that the colours are pre-made, but you do still have to put the palette together when it arrives as it all comes in single packets of eyeshadows and an empty palette.

I had fun putting together this palette and I love the colours included. The only annoying thing is that, the empty palette it arrived in is totally different to the one shown on their website. The one I have received is okay, it's not ugly and it's not the prettiest, but I much prefer the one shown on the website with the palm trees. That one has such a summer vibe and it goes perfectly with the colours in this palette.

ColourPop She's A Rainbow Palette includes these shades:

 Brick Road, described as a vivid pinky red.

 Sandbar, described as a matte hot pink.

 Big Sugar, described as a bright bubblegum pink with a silver sheen.
